For a while now, about half the time when I close a web page, it pops back up and then freezes. I have to do a control, alt, delete to get rid of it. My computer guy has never heard of this. It happens the most when I'm reading articles that I click on from my e-mail. Anyone out there know what's going on and how I can correct this? Thanks!

first thing i can say is never open a email that has a link in it from some one you do not know, 2nd do a sweep for spy wear if need be go to cnet and get a spy wear remove program like spybot or adawear, then after you run that ron your viuse scaner, this sounds to me that you might have been key loged and you ask what is a key log it is a hacker geting every pass word you have every time you type and if all else fails, reformat your computer if you have the os disk

Google chrome is good also. All of the above apply. I t really sounds like you have a virus problem.
Once you have your computer working go to every site you use a password on and change them. IF YOU use online backing notify your bank asap that you had a key logger and that you have changed your password and for them to flag your account for possible fraud activity. Same for credit card companies. This will protect you from someone stealing your identity and money.

I ran Spybot and it found a number of problems. I haven't checked yet to see if it fixed the problem. Thanks for the warning. I'll change my banking and credit card passwords. Anyone know how to change my Google bookmarks over to Firefox?

I've run Spybot twice and the Malicious Software Removal Tool once. Spybot found a number of problems, and corrected them, but the Microsoft tool didn't find anything. Neither corrected the problem. Any other suggestions? Many web pages are loading very slowly too. I clicked on ScrogBubbles link and it wouldn't load. It's not the link, it's my computer. Reloading Windows is only a last resort. I lose too much when I have to do that. I keep my computer clean, using disk cleanup, including cleaning out cookies, but that doesn't help either.
